试题分析:本文讲述了一个人的后车轮附近藏着一只蜂王,导致一群蜜蜂追随它的汽车的故事。最后他给养蜂人打电话,让他把蜜蜂给取走了。

1.考查名词。connection连接; difference不同; communication 交流,通讯; similarity相似。这里指的是人与昆虫的区别,注意下文提到的the former(前者)和the latter(后者)是在对两者的不同作比较。故选B。

2.考查名词。passengers乘客; insects昆虫; former前者; first第一。根据下文the latter quickly,所以与它相对应,故选C。

3.考查动词。give给; keep保持; pay花费; draw attention 引起注意。句中的while 表对比。前面说偷乘车辆或船只的人通常都会尽量不让人发现,而“偷”乘车辆或船只的昆虫则不同,怎么个不同?那就是它们会draw attention (引起注意)。故选D。

4.考查形容词。unfortunate不幸的; careless粗心的; unpleasant讨厌的,令人不快的; hopeless没有希望的。根据下文可知,这个人很不走运。故选A。

5.考查名词。front前面; back后面; left左边; right右边。根据文章最后一段倒数第2句He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back. of the car 可知,此处应填 back。故选B。

6.考查动词。drive开始; continue继续; push推; forc强迫。既然通过检查没有发现什么问题,所以他就继续(continue)赶路。故选B。

7.考查副词。normally正常地; gently轻轻地; quietly安静地; immediately立刻。由于是一种奇怪的声音,并且他几次下车查看,说明这种声音不算normally;又由于后面说…became even louder,说明它不gently;actually 在此不合语境。故选D,指车一开动,又马上出现了那种声音。故选D。

8.考查形容词。black黑色的; beautiful漂亮的; white 白的; colorful彩色的。根据下文可知,跟在车后的是一群蜜蜂,作者把它形容成一团乌云,故用black。故选 A。

9.考查介词。below在……下面; ahead向前; nearby在附近; behind在后面。

根据上下文语境可知,这群蜜蜂不是在车底,是在附近,也不是前面,也不是在车后面。故选C。

10.考查形容词。boring烦人的; careful仔细的; exciting令人高兴的;  hard难的。司机尽量把车开快希望能甩掉其后的蜜蜂,这样的的驾驶肯定很hard。故选D。

11.考查名词。hotel旅馆; museum历史博物馆; hospital医院; school学校。根据下文提到a customer 可排除B、C、D。故选A。

12.考查动词。break打破; move移动; hurry匆忙; drop下降。因为这位看见他停车的顾客发现他的车上满是蜜蜂,所以就匆忙匆忙(hurried)进来告诉他。故选C。

13.考查形容词。be crowded with 挤满了……;be covered with 被……所覆盖;be filled with装满……;be equipped with 由……所装备。根据语境,只有B较合适。故选B。

14.考查动词。advis建议; require要求; order命令; request请求。advise sb that… 意为“建议某人……”,此处用的是该结构的被动式,其意为“有人建议他……”。故选A。

15.考查名词。bee-keeper养蜂人; policeman警察; waiter服务员;repairman修理工。要对付这批蜜蜂,显然只有bee-keeper(养蜂人)最合适。故选A。

考点:故事类短文。

点评:完形填空所用的短文一般不给标题,但短文的主题句,往往在每段文章的首句,有时也出现在文章的中间或结束处。主题句提供全篇的性质、大意等,这是深入了解全文的“窗口”,甚至能以语句为立足点,从该句的时态、语气推测全文的主要内容。

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.

On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people drowned.

Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the Earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.

Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?

1.What is mainly described in the passage?

A. A historic discovery.           B. An event of imagination.

C. A research on space.           D. A scientific adventure.

2.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes      .

A. an earthquake                B. damages to cities

C. an Earth explosion            D. huge waves

3.Why can’t the northern half of the earth escape for long?

A. Because the land is covered with water.

B. Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the Earth.

C. Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.

D. Because wars break out among countries.

4.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove      .

A. animals could not live in the cold climate

B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story

C. the human beings will die out in 2094

D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

 

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:

“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGE 1

VOYAGE 2

Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.

START  TRANSPORT  PROGRAM.

AUTO-RETRIEVE  INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”

     The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒),until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed:

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.

DESTINATION:  MARS.

RETRIEVE DATE:  2025

The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year,but it’s always on a Sunday.
